Burlington is a non starter for the simple fact that Burlington will not be able to politically sell spending tens of millions to subsidize the development of prime real estate - along with a whole bunch of other obvious reasons.

No doubt everyone involved knows the same thing.

As the Tiger Cats seem to be getting ever more desperate and embarrassingly obvious in their subterfuge - I think the City of Hamilton really needs to take a serious look at suing the Tiger Cats to recover the tens of millions the City has invested over the last several years of actual due diligence to develop the West Harbour Stadium.

AM talk shows and headline journalism aside, the City of Hamilton has spent years and millions of taxpayer money to develop a stadium site.

Financial analysis, preliminary engineering, transportation analysis, legal investigation, permit applications, zoning amendments and property acquisition have all been completed in good faith by the City - and all cost real money. All of which was nuked by the Tiger Cats at the last minute through no fault of the City.

At this point - I think it would be very hard to argue that the Tiger Cats have acted in good faith.

In my mind - that is a very real tort that needs to be remedied.
